Judith Guest

Judith Guest (s. 29. maaliskuuta 1936 Detroit, Michigan) on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija ja elokuvakäsikirjoittaja, joka tunnetaan perheen kriisejä läpikäyvien nuorten kuvaamisesta useissa romaaneissaan. Hänen esikoisteoksensa Ordinary People (suom. Samat kasvot peilissä, 1977, ja Tavallisia ihmisiä, 1981) oli pohjana Alvin Sargentin käsikirjoittamassa ja Robert Redfordin ohjaamassa draamaelokuvassa Tavallisia ihmisiä (1980), joka sai parhaan elokuvan Oscar-palkinnon. Samanlaista aihepiiriä käsittelevät myös Guestin romaanit Second Heaven (1982, suom. Toinen taivas, Tammi 1983) ja Errands (1997).[1]

Guest on kirjoittanut myös käsikirjoituksen Sandy Smolanin ohjaamaan draamakomediaan Rachel River (1987) sekä rikosromaaneja kuten The Tarnished Eye (2004).[1]

Judith Guest suoritti bachelor-tutkinnon Michiganin yliopistossa vuonna 1958 ja työskenteli sitten opettajana 1970-luvun puoleenväliin asti, jolloin jättäytyi vapaaksi kirjailijaksi.[2]

Judith Guestin isosetä oli Yhdysvalloissa 1900-luvun alkupuolella suosittu brittiläissyntyinen runoilija Edgar Guest (1881–1959).[2]
